I wore the seersuckersuit to work today

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Thu Jul 31, 2008 4:00 pm

I don't wear it very often,

So there I was at the mailbox in the seersucker suit jumping up and down when I read my happy postcard. I'm in the Halloween pool!
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I'm so happy, Mr. theman! Congratulations. Hurray! Yippee!

I'm going to eat a cookie to celebrate.

I'm so excited. I've never seen a seersucker flying monkey on television before, and I love new things.

Do you have a goodly supply of blue face paint? Is your makeup artist available on short notice?

Good luck seersucker. Just a word of warning, they will almost have to tape the Halloween shows in September, so if you are picked, it will be somewhat soon.

You know I've had just a crappy day today. Not crappy as in I have a crappy job, just crappy in that I've had to work a lot harder than I normally prefer. But dang, that news just made it a great day!

Congratulations!

Hey, Elvira graduated in the same class as a friend of mine and I know her parents. She's smart!

Also, congratulations. The best (or worst) part of this is that you don't have to hang on tenterhooks for very long.

You know - you could just keep wearing The Suit to help bring the Call to fruition.

On second thought, maybe you should just leave it to us to produce the Good Vibes. It might keep your, uhh, aura from becoming too overwhelming... :twisted:

Good luck - hope they call soon (but not TOO soon)!

Congrats Seersucker! May you get the call and may the new rules not haunt you.


In my pool days, my luck charm was a Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt. Happened to have one on today. Did not wear @ first taping (llama). Wore underneath my outfit for my llamarama taping.

Congratulations, tmitsss! Has Michael Davies finally decided that a MAWG in blue face paint is good TV? 8)

But don't take Elvira for your Expert; I'd hold out for Buffy the Vampire Slayer! :twisted:
